As the daughter of missionaries, KARA SWANSON spent sixteen years of her young life in the jungles of Papua New Guinea. Able to relate with characters dropped suddenly into a unique new world, she quickly fell in love with the speculative genre and was soon penning stories herself. You can find out about her novels here. Kara received the Mount Hermon Most Promising Teen Writer Award in 2015. When she’s not creating new stories and placing characters in peril, she’s probably binge-watching Marvel movies, playing with her huskies, reading till two in the morning or experimenting with a dairy-free mocha Frappuccino (skills, I’m telling you).

I spent my childhood in the jungles of Papua New Guinea, as the daughter of missionaries, where I grew a love for the written word and began penning my own stories at a young age. I have traditionally and independently published novels and short stories, as well as several magazine articles.
